FC Sion vs Lausanne Prediction & Betting Tips

Both sides have cooled off

Sion's table position comes from an early-season burst, but their last six league games tell a different story: just one win, one draw and four defeats, including losses to Grasshoppers, St Gallen, Basel and Lugano. It's a proper slump for a team sitting third.

FC Sion: 20 completed matches; Lausanne: 20 completed matches.

Lausanne's form is even worse. Across their last six Super League outings they've picked up a single point, drawing once and losing the rest, including a heavy 0-4 defeat to Lugano and a 0-1 loss to Servette at home.

Sion's slump is bad, but Lausanne's is worse and more consistent.

Comparative Team Statistics: FC Sion vs Lausanne

A fixture that's rarely been one-sided

The most recent meeting in April saw Sion win 3-0 at home, but the three before that were far tighter: a 2-2 draw, a 0-0 draw, and a Lausanne away win. Going back further, this fixture has swung both ways plenty of times over the years.

So while Sion have the recent edge in this specific matchup, it hasn't been a one-way fixture historically.

Recent head-to-heads have been closer than the current league gap suggests.

The table still favours Sion

Nine games in, Sion have 19 points from six wins, one draw and two losses, sitting third. Lausanne have managed just six points from one win, three draws and five losses, way down in twelfth.

That's a 13-point gap after the same number of matches, so even with Sion wobbling recently, there's still a decent cushion built up from earlier in the campaign.

Sion's attack has a clear focal point

Winsley Boteli Mokango has been Sion's main threat, with six goals and four assists in nine matches. J. Lukembila has chipped in with three goals and four assists too, so the goal threat isn't spread too thin.
